12. Sisiphi isiqinisekiso esifunyanwa nguPawulos embonweni?

¹² Ukuba uPawulos wayenamathandabuzo athile ngokuqhubeka eshumayela eKorinte, amele ukuba aphela ngobusuku iNkosi uYesu eyabonakala ngabo kuye embonweni yaza yathi: “Musa ukuba noloyiko, kodwa qhubeka uthetha uze ungathi cwaka, ngenxa yokuba ndinawe yaye akukho mntu uya kukuhlasela aze akwenze okubi; kuba ndinabantu abaninzi kwesi sixeko.” (IZe. 18:9, 10) Onjani ukuba lukhuthazo umbono! INkosi yamqinisekisa uPawulos ukuba yayiza kumkhusela ekonzakalisweni yaye kwakusekho abantu abaninzi abafanelekayo kweso sixeko. Yintoni awayenzayo uPawulos emva koko? Sifunda oku: “Wahlala apho unyaka neenyanga ezintandathu, efundisa phakathi kwabo ilizwi likaThixo.”​—IZe. 18:11.

16. Aba naliphi igalelo kubulungiseleli bethu amazwi eNkosi athi, “Qhubeka uthetha uze ungathi cwaka, ngenxa yokuba ndinawe”?

¹⁶ Khumbula ukuba emva kokuba amaYuda echase intshumayelo kaPawulos, iNkosi uYesu yamqinisekisa isithi: “Musa ukuba noloyiko, kodwa qhubeka uthetha uze ungathi cwaka, ngenxa yokuba ndinawe.” (IZe. 18:9, 10) Siya kuba senza kakuhle ukuhlala siwakhumbula loo mazwi, ngakumbi xa isigidimi sethu sichaswa. Ungaze ulibale ukuba uYehova uyakwazi ukubona iintliziyo aze abatsalele kuye abo bantliziyo zinyanisekileyo. (1 Sam. 16:7; Yoh. 6:44) Oko kusikhuthaza gqitha ukuze sihlale sixakekile kubulungiseleli. Nyaka ngamnye kubhaptizwa amakhulu amawaka​—kubhaptizwa amakhulu mihla le. Abo bathobela umyalelo wokubenza “abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke,” uYesu ubaqinisekisa athi: “Ndinani yonke imihla de kube sekuphelisweni kwenkqubo yezinto.”​—Mat. 28:19, 20.
